Access to Library Hub
Access to the Library Hub is available on site at all University of Divinity Libraries. Remote access to all licensed content requires a username (email address) and password. These login details are the same as those used to access the University’s Learning Management System (ARK) and the Paradigm Education Management System (formerly TAMS).
Students will automatically receive their login details as part of the enrolment process.
Staff/Members: All other eligible members of the University (including Honorary Researchers and University Scholars) who wish to access the Library Hub need to complete an IT Systems Access Form prior to them being issued with their username and password. The form needs to be approved by their home College and lodged with the Office of the Vice-Chancellor by emailing it to forms@divinity.edu.au
Library Access
Access to library collections, including borrowing rights, are subject to reasonable constraints which may be imposed by each library governing access to reserve collections, special collections or sensitive materials. Contact individual libraries for opening hours and access arrangements. A Libraries Brochure available via the Library Hub provides further information
University ID Cards
The same University ID card may be used to access all libraries associated with the University.
Students: A University ID card will be generated for all enrolled students of the University at the point of admission and may be collected from the student’s home College.
Staff/Members: University ID cards for Staff and Member categories will be issued by either the relevant College of the University or the Office of the Vice-Chancellor.
Please note that your card and contact details need to be added to each library’s management system. This will generally already be done for you at the primary library associated with your home institution. If you wish to access any other library collections, please remember to register at each additional library before you borrow for the first time.
